This week we had a go at creating our own paint from plant pigments. We were interested in how we could try to make some of the traditional colours that were available in Shetland for dyes. We had a go at making some Shetland ganzies for Wool Week, using colours from around our school. One group even tried dyeing some wool. It was a success!
This week we are further investigating leaves. We made some slides so we could look at leaf material under the microscope. We pushed our curiosity, experimenting with petals amd different plant materials.
We have also been learning about food chains and food webs. We made some food chains and webs in the playground, thinking carefully about producers, primary and secondary consumers. We focused on collaboration, we had to work closely together to make a functional food chain.
We have been learning about the key components on computers and the difference between hardware and software. Primary 7 collaborated in small groups to identify the different computer parts. It was a lot of fun. We were glad we didn’t have to put them back together again!
Today we gathered lots of different types of seaweed from the beach. The meta-skill we focused on was collaboration. Even more collaborative skills were seen at the end when everyone worked together to build a giant dam! We looked carefully at the adaptations different types of seaweed have and will investigate further as we identify each type.
